According to Emirates, the flight schedule has been strategically designed to ensure seamless connectivity for travelers from major European cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Manchester, Milan, and Rome, as well as key destinations in the United States. Additionally, the new route is expected to attract affluent travelers from the Middle East to Da Nang, further enhancing its appeal as a global tourism hub.
